Domaine Geantet-Pansiot Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Le Poissenot 1996 is a Pinot Noir from a high-altitude vineyard situated near the Combe de Lavaux. The terroir here is cooler and stonier than the village centre, which, combined with the high-acid 1996 vintage, resulted in a wine of tension and mineral drive. Geantet-Pansiot is known for a style that emphasises rich fruit through cold maceration and 100% new oak ageing. This 1996 release has developed into a savoury, complex wine with notes of black cherry, iron and dried rose petals. The high natural acidity of the vintage has acted as a superb preservative, keeping the palate fresh and linear even as the tannins have mellowed into a silky, resolved state.
91 Robert Parker
This black-colored wine has licorice and cassis liqueur aromas that are followed by a huge, massively-concentrated, broad-shouldered, and intense personality. It is chewy-textured yet admirably focused with well-integrated and refreshing acidity. Even though this is a powerful and structured wine, its copious tannins are supple and silky. It can be drunk young, but should evolve marvelously. Anticipated maturity. 2001-2008. - Pierre Rovani

Geantet-Pansiot`s 1996 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Le Poissenot was much further along than I would have expected. It paired beautifully with the duck both in terms of its flavors and texture. Exotic notes of orange peel, star anise and spices played off the sweetness and Schezuan pepper in the duck beautifully. It was a wonderful pairing. That said, I can`t imagine the Poissenot has too many more equally brilliant days ahead of it. Antonio Galloni1st February 2012
